by kk. Comment: "Freakzilla's right, much as I hate to say anything good about a wrestling game. With character names like "Insane Worrier" and the C-64 like graphics and sound, save your money on pay-per-view wrestling, this is far more fun." (2003-02-23 08:47:59Z)

by freakzilla. Comment: "PURE CLASSIC. One of the best "unknown" games of the golden age. I used to plunk a single quarter in this game and play as long as I wanted...and then hand it over to a little kid who was usually watching the matches...that was always the cool thing to do! ah, those were the days. :)" (2003-02-22 16:35:00Z)
